Meet the New Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 matte black that you cannot buy!

The new matte black shade for the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 is a result of the dealer level mod in order to have a unique presence and sadly, the said model is not up for sale. The motorcycle is officially available for sale in two colour options of Thunder Grey and Racing Blue.

The new 2018 Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 has been recently spotted at a dealership in Chennai in matte black colour. The pictures have been shared by an Autosmaxabout reader.

The reason being, this is a dealer level mod job and the said colour has not been introduced officially by the company here in India.

The motorcycle also gets a fully digital instrumentation with a gear shift light.
